In the incredibly vulnerable digital world, data is a valuable commodity and one that is always at risk of theft, corruption, and loss. However, proper data security measures can protect digital data and keep vital information secure.

Kanguru Defender® 3000 Flash Drive

Kanguru has been a powerhouse name in the data storage device industry for some time, so it’s no surprise that they have produced such an ultra-secure flash drive in the Defender 3000™. While several Kanguru products possess a government recognized FIPS 140-2 certification, the level 3 FIPS 140-2 certification is held by just a few of the Kanguru storage devices, including the Defender 2000™, Defender 3000™, and the soon to be certified Defender Elite300™.

FIPS 140-2 Certification

FIPS 140-2 certified devices are regarded as some of the most secure data storage devices. FIPS 140-2, which stands for Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2, is a set of security requirements for cryptographic modules. The FIPS 140-2 certification process is handled by a joint committee between the American NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology) and the Canadian CSE (Communications Security Establishment), called CMVP (Cryptographic Module Validation Program). It’s a globally recognized certification, and one that requires an immense amount of security measures to be in place.

There are 4 levels of FIPS 140-2 certification, and to be awarded any level of FIPS 140-2 certification is an accomplishment. To be level 3, like the Defender 3000™ flash drive, is astonishing. The level 3 FIPS 140-2 certification means that the Defender 3000 has strong, tamper evident protections in place to prevent unauthorized access, attack, or brute force attempts to gain access to the sensitive data.

Other Security Measures

Aside from being level 3 FIPS 140-2 certified, the new Defender 3000™ flash drive from Kanguru contains AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which protects the device where software encryption falls short. In addition, the Defender 3000™ flash drive is in compliance with industry security standards, such as HIPAA, and with TAA (Trade Agreements Act) policies. The onboard anti-virus protection software scans the device constantly, keeping your files safe from any viral attacks. The backbone of the Defender 3000’s security is the AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which protects the device where software encryption falls short.

With a line of promising products, and a handful of new level 3 FIPS 140-2 certified devices, Kanguru continues to exhibit their force as a global leader in the USB data storage device industry. Whether your organization handles protected health information (PHI), or maintains the records of governmental officials, there is no better device for the job than the Kanguru Defender 3000™ flash drive.

Losing a rock, of course, is not big news, in fact, it’s quite a boring story.
